Ethereum Foundation: The three core objectives of the Glamsterdam upgrade are basically completed, and the Gas Limit lower bound is proposed to be increased to 200 million.

ME News Report, May 3rd (UTC+8), the Ethereum Foundation officially published an article reviewing Soldøgn Interop, stating that over the past week, more than 100 Ethereum core contributors gathered in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway, to advance the Glamsterdam network upgrade and achieve three core objectives: reaching a consensus on a 200 million (200M) Gas Limit lower bound after the upgrade, implementing a stable external Builder process for ePBS (enshrined PBS), and finalizing the EIP-8037 Gas Repricing parameters. The Ethereum Foundation indicated that the focus of the Glamsterdam upgrade is to enhance security by increasing the Gas Limit to expand Ethereum’s throughput capacity. Among these, ePBS improves the block execution time window by restructuring the proposer/builder relationship, BAL (Block-Level Access Lists) optimization enhances parallel execution and I/O efficiency, and EIP-8037 raises the cost of state creation to prevent infinite state expansion caused by high Gas Limits. As of this Friday, most clients have completed stable operation on glamsterdam-devnet-2 and successfully tested the full external Builder process. The team believes that the 200M Gas Limit lower bound after the upgrade has a credible foundation. Additionally, progress has been made on FOCIL, native account abstraction, and future Hegotá upgrade-related features. The Ethereum Foundation stated that in the coming weeks, core developers will continue to strengthen client robustness, improve testing, and merge code, with final parameters to be publicly confirmed at the AllCoreDevs meeting.
